Follows the Stones on the fated 1969 US tour that culminated in the concert at Altamont. I knew I was in good hands as soon as I read the following early passage, describing the reporters at a pre-tour Stones press conference:"They all appeared to be in their early twenties... dressed in the current style, achieved by spending large sums of money to look poor and bedraggled, like a new race of middle-class gypsies. They ate like gypsies, snatching up cakes and fruit and drinks."Captures not only The Stones at the peak of their world dominance, but also the peak and decline of an era. Wonderful reading.
